Which muscle tendonous attachments keep the patella in its place?
i say quadriceps fermoris because its on the one of the ham muscle
Muscle tone of the patella?

How does muscles and bones connected?
Muscle is connected to bone with tendons, bones are attached with ligaments and separated by cartilage to keep bones from grinding on each other.
What part of the body does the bicep move?
The biceps muscle is located in the front area of the upper arm. The biceps muscle helps to stabilize the large bone in the upper arm (the humerus) in the shoulder socket. It also helps to accelerate and decelerate the arm during overhead activities, like tennis or pitching. The biceps tendons keep the biceps muscle attached to the shoulder at one end and the elbow at the other end. Tendons are strong cord-like structures that connect each end of the biceps muscle to bones. At one end of the biceps muscle, tendons connect the biceps to the shoulder in two places. At the other end of the muscle, tendons connect the biceps muscle to the smaller bone (radius) in the lower arm. Source:AAOS
What connects muscles to bone?
tendons remember this rhyme i learned tendons keep you bendin' !

What hold the bone together at the joint?
Ligaments hold bone to bone, normally in a complex working together to keep the joint stable. Also tendons tether muscle to bone around the joint to increase stability as well.
What is function and location of skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscles are attached to bones which make up the skeleton. They are attached to the bones by tendons. The tendons are made out of tissues that run through the muscular tissue and come together at the end forming tendons. The major function of the skeletal muscles is movement. Contraction of the fibres (cells) in the skeletal muscle generates tension which is transmitted through the tendons. Pairs (or more) of muscles generating tension on the tendons will move the bone. Skeletal muscles are also used in the maintenance of posture as the muscles have to contract to keep the body up right. An other function is the by product of movement; heat. The heat produced during the contraction of muscles, is an important homeostatic mechanism as it helps to maintain the body's core temperature.Hope this helps, have just finished a massive assignment on this subject!
What exercises strengthen the arm for throwing?
